(The values in "Wide Panel" line indicate the range when the wide-angle panel is used. 5 m, sensitivity is ISO 100, and the wide-angle panel is not in use, the calculation will become as follows: The Guide No. Measure the distance to the subject (between the AF200FG and subject) and determine the aperture value using the following procedure. The appropriate shooting distance (distance at which the appropriate exposure is available) is determined based on the combination of the ISO sensitivity setting and the aperture value on the camera when the mode dial is set to (FULL). (The values in "Wide Panel" line indicate the distance when the wide-angle panel is used. When using a normal flash to shoot a portrait, etc. , in a night or evening setting, the background will appear very dark because a normal flash light cannot sufficiently light it.
